The last pure 1.5kV DC on the entire Indian Railways, Locomotive class WCM-6 now converted to work under 25kV AC enjoys early morning sunlight at Karjat, hats off to all those Electrical Engineers who at Bhusawal successfully carried out the Locomotive Traction Power Circuit conversion from DC to AC. A fresh coat of the paint and the words painted "Fit to work under 25kV AC OHE" add to the beauty of this unique Locomotive Class. (Kaushik Dharwadkar)

I thank everyone for their valuable comments. I'm sorry for a very late reply as I was busy exploring the Jabalpur Jn-Nainpur Jn-Balaghat Jn, Nainpur Jn-Mandla Fort and Nainpur Jn-Chhindwara Jn-Nagpur Jn NG lines.

@Mani Vijay: Thank you...

Can it be used for banking? I remember a video of it banking with WCG2s when it was DC loco.

Lovely! So, it is still called WCM6? Should it be re-classified as WAM5?
